Student Visa from Nigeria to Malta
- A visa is required to study in Malta for a period longer than 90 days.
- The Consulate of Malta requires applicants to apply for student visas directly — a personal appearance may be necessary at the nearest Consulate.
- The Maltese student visa may take up to 2-3 months to be issued.
- Unlike the visit visa, the student visa offers a longer duration.
- A holder of the visa can stay in Malta for as long as their study curriculum permits.
- Please note that non-EU/EEA nationals will not be able to obtain a visa to enter Malta if they apply for part-time day/ evening courses.
- Following arrival and registration at the University, ALL international students who stay for more than 3 months (ie. 90 days) should apply for an e-Residence Permit.
- When consulates require an appointment, this may need to be scheduled as much as 4 to 6 weeks in advance because appointment times are limited and fill quickly.
- After the appointment, the visa processing time may take an additional 1 to 4 weeks.
- Therefore, it could take as long as between 8 to 9 weeks from the time of application to when visa is finally issued.
